What IS a “Prayer Practitioner” (RScP)?

An Ahava Practitioner is a professional spiritual coach, licensed by Centers for Spiritual Living. They complete four years of study, must pass a comprehensive exam and an oral panel to practice. Also, Practitioners are required to complete continuing service and education requirements.

 

Practitioners are the healing arm of Ahava Center for Spiritual Living, prayerfully supporting the lives of those within our community. More than a vocation, being a practitioner is a way of life. Some see individual clients for collaborative coaching, which emphasizes spiritual guidance and support.
